McCain Backs Nuclear Power
bagsc writes "Senator John McCain set out another branch of his energy policy agenda today, with a key point: 45 new nuclear power plants by 2030." So it finally appears that this discussion is back on the table. I'm curious how Nevada feels about this, as well as the Obama campaign. All it took was $4/gallon gas I guess. When it hits $5, I figure one of the campaigns will start to promote Perpetual Motion.
why i can't vote 4 mccain: mccain-feingold:-P
and yet another reason:
McCain, co-author of the McCain-Feingold law that abridges the right of free political speech, has referred disparagingly to, as he puts it, "quote 'First Amendment rights.' " Now he dismissively speaks of "so-called, quote 'habeas corpus suits.' " He who wants to reassure constitutionalist conservatives that he understands the importance of limited government should be reminded why the habeas right has long been known as "the great writ of liberty."

Mod parent up. His language may be inflammatory, but what he's saying is spot-on.
Tiller's Rule: Never use a word in written form that you've only heard and never read. You will end up looking foolish.
Actually, since geothermal is a mix of residual heat from the formation of Earth and heat from the decay of radioactive isotopes, I consider it a form of nuclear energy. my $0.02 worth.
Where's the mod option for "completely missing the point and stretching a statement by the parent to absurd lengths to prove a related, but seperate, point"?
What, too long?
Mod Parent up - this is AMAZINGLY well stated.
